[Mrtrix-discussion] Urgent global tractography

This new file shows a correctly organzed data set, with 4 dimensions, as
opposed to the previous one, which was 3D. It is surprising how many
volumes there are, but this may (or may not) be the case, depending on your
acquisition. I imagine these are different files? (by the way, you do not
need to be sudo to run mrinfo).

How many lines are there in your encoding.b file? you can check this with
wc -l encoding.b .  The value should match the number of volumes (515).

Have you tried converting your data with dcm2nii, as Donald suggested? It
should output bval and bvec files, which are trivial to convert to an
encoding.b file.
